Title:
  Unity panel should be transparent

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is not exactly a bug, but more of a wishlist entry. The top
  panel/global menu bar would look nicer if it was transparent by
  default. I always use the compiz settings manager to set Unity's panel
  opacity to 0, because it really does make a big aesthetic difference
  to the desktop. The fully-opaque, dark-grey menu bar just looks a bit
  last-decade. Also, when transitioning between the new lock screen
  (LightDM), or when opening the Unity Dash, the way the panel suddenly
  switches from being dark grey to transparent is pretty jarring. That's
  how I feel anyway. So making the panel transparent (not *completely*
  transparent though, you should still see the bar going across) would
  not only make LightDM and Ubuntu feel more like one entity, but it
  would look nicer/more modern, and the transitioning between the Unity
  Dash and the new lock screen would look more seamless and natural as
  well.

  Just a suggestion. Thanks. ^^
